About the Artist:

Born in Rome in 1983, Clara Iannotta is particularly interested in music as an existential, physical experience — music should be seen as well as heard. This is one of the reasons why she sometimes prefers to talk about the choreography of the sound rather than about orchestration.

Iannotta has been a guest of the Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD in 2013, a resident fellow at Villa Médicis in 2018–19, and the recipient of several prizes including the Ernst von Siemens Composers’ Prize and Hindemith-Preis 2018, Berlin Rheinsberger Kompositionspreis, Kompositionspreis der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart, Bestenliste 2/2016 der deutschen Schallplattenkritik for the portrait CD A Failed Entertainment.

Since 2014, Iannotta has been the artistic director of the Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik.

Her music is published by Edition Peters. She lives and works in Berlin.
